Tao Yao came out of Qian's house, only to feel a little trance, this bright spring weather in Hangzhou, as if it was cloudy overnight.

Tao Yi looked at Tao Yao, who was standing in front of the carriage in a daze, and couldn't help but ask, "Girl, what's wrong with you?" ”

Tao Yao came back to her senses, glanced at Tao Yi in a trance, quickly got into the carriage, and said, "Go to Lu Yue Library." ”

Tao Yi didn't know why, but he still got into the carriage and went all the way to the Lu Yue Library.

After a short time, I arrived at the door of the Lu Yue Library, and now it is already the time for the students to take the classics and history, and the class has started, and the door of the Lu Yue Library is quiet, Tao Yi stopped the carriage and asked Tao Yao: "Girl, shall we go in?" ”

Tao Yao sat in the carriage and didn't hear back for a long time, and it took a long time for Tao Yi to hear a sentence: "Don't go in, wait at the door." ”

"Hey." Tao Yi saw that Tao Yao was in a bad mood, and he didn't dare to say much, so he only drove the carriage to the side of the road, stopped the horse against the weeping willow at the door, and tied the horse to the willow tree.

Tao Yi sat on the wheel of the carriage, bored, and waited for about half an hour, and suddenly heard Tao Yao inside speak again: "Uncle Xiao Yi, let's not wait, go to Chen's house in Liuye Lane." ”

This time, Tao Yao's words were a little more confident.

"Hey." Tao Yi responded outside, spit out the grass in his mouth, stepped forward to untie the horse's reins, drove the carriage, and went all the way to Liuye Lane.

Tao Yu never thought that Tao Yao would come uninvited today, she only took her words seriously, Tao Yao was angry with her, and she easily refused to come to the door again.

Now as soon as he heard that Tao Yao was coming, Shaw Brothers hurriedly greeted him, and saw Tao Yao coming in from a distance in the main hall, Shaw Brothers smiled and said, "Oh, why is Xiao Yao free today?" Did you have lunch? ”

Shaw asked while asking, but found that Tao Yao's face was very ugly, and he didn't know what was going on: "What's wrong?" Who bullied you? ”

Tao Yao looked at the Shao family, and only said seriously: "Second aunt, last time you said that you carefully checked the details of the Chu family, what kind of business their family has, and what other people are in the family, you tell me carefully." ”

Shaw led Tao Yao to sit in the peach jade house, and then said: "Their family is engaged in the cloth business, needlework workshop, dyeing, embroidery, weaving, is cloth-related livelihood, they all do it, and there are Zhuangzi planting mulberry trees and raising silkworms, and they all make a living." There are more shops selling cloth, Hangzhou, Panyu, Tianjin, I heard that there are shops in the capital.

You can also ask you Master Liu of the Purple Silk Pavilion, after all, they are all peers, and she should know some about the Chu family. ”

Tao Yao hurriedly asked: "Is their family doing legitimate business?" ”

Shaw was asked inexplicably by Tao Yao: "What is wrong with selling cloth?" Their family's reputation in Hangzhou is quite good. Wouldn't they all be sanatoriums, porridge sheds, or something. ”

Tao Yao continued to ask: "Then how did their family get their family?" Where is the ancestral home? Have you been in Hangzhou all along? ”

Shao Shi thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Then at least the three generations of ancestors are in Hangzhou, if you dig out hundreds of years, I don't know, and I don't need to check his family tree." ”

Seeing Tao Yao asking, Tao Yu seemed to think of something, and suddenly opened her mouth: "Xiao Yao, have you heard something?" ”

Tao Yao heard Tao Yu's tone, and her whole body collapsed: "Sister knows what it is, doesn't it?" ”

Taoyu pondered for a moment, and then gave a look to the mother-in-law who was serving her closely, and the mother-in-law bowed down in response, leading a room of maids and even the nurse who coaxed the child to retreat.

Shaw looked at Taoyu's move, and was also puzzled: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Tao Yu saw that the people had retreated, so she said to Tao Yao: "Do you remember the last time, you said that someone in the Chu family once won the top prize, ask me and your brother-in-law to check it for you." ”

Tao Yao never thought that Tao Yu would mention this matter, she almost forgot about it, so she only nodded: "Yes." ”

Taoyu said: "For the readers, this won the champion, is a glorious lintel of the big event, naturally all spread by word of mouth, I can't wait to set up a memorial arch at the door to write out, this every subject, who won the champion, your brother-in-law is like a number of treasures."

However, we have never heard of anyone in the Chu family who has ever won the champion. ”

Tao Yao twisted her eyebrows and listened: "So, my sister means that he is lying to me?" ”

Taoyu shook her head: "It's not, your brother-in-law said that since it was his great-grandfather who won the champion, it was a long time ago, and it may not be the champion of this dynasty, but the champion of the previous dynasty." ”

"What?" Tao Yao was slightly surprised.

Taoyu continued: "Since your brother-in-law has this conjecture, I will let him go and check it carefully, his great-grandfather was the champion of the last emperor of the Xuan Dynasty, Yongjing, in the last years of the year, and before he could give the official, the Great Xuan Dynasty died in the country."

It stands to reason that after the Great Zhou Dynasty occupied the Central Plains, almost all the officials of the previous dynasty were temporarily retained, and he was a dignified champion, and it was impossible not to attract people's attention and give him an official position or something, but he did not become an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty again, so he returned to his hometown and started doing business.

Over the years, the fathers and sons of their family have all studied, but no one has ever gone to the entrance examination until Chu Ping. ”

Taoyu said extremely vaguely, but it also implied a lot of her speculation, Taoyao also heard the meaning, the Chu family refused to be given an official by the Great Zhou Dynasty, and refused to re-enter the office, could it be that there was still the idea of recovering the country?

This made Tao Yao feel more terrible than smuggling, and Tao Yao shook her head: "Impossible, this is impossible." No matter what the great-grandfather of the Chu family thought, at least Chu Ping definitely didn't have such thoughts. ”

Taoyu looked at Taoyao's rejection, so she only said lightly: "It's best not to be self, it's just that the laws of the dynasty are very strict about rebellion, so I stopped you, now that you know, you should also think about it, don't get into trouble." ”

Tao Yao's heart jumped suddenly, it's not like this, it's obviously not like this, with Chu Ping, who she knew before, and the Chu family she knew, they all have innocent family backgrounds, and even Gao Feng Liang is only a generation. But what's going on now? How can the world be turned upside down in one day.

At noon, I heard that their family was smuggling, and after that their family was about to commit treason.

Tao Yao really couldn't believe it.

"Is there anything wrong with the Chu family's business?" Tao Yao didn't give up and asked Tao Yu.

Tao Yu didn't understand why Tao Yao was very obsessed with the Chu family's business, so she only said: "I don't know about this, what's wrong?" What did you hear? You can say it, and we'll help you find it out. ”
